Ideally located very close to the entrance gates to the palace, this hotel oozes warmth and hospitality, a charm often in short supply in Paris hospitality. Rooms were spacious and well appointed although lacked tea making facilities. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Breakfast a little pre packaged but lovely fresh bread. Restaurant next door was great for lunch... More

Fantastic! This beautiful hotel was more than a pleasant surprise. I planned my trip on the fly with no reservations. I stayed at three different star rating hotels in Versailles to sample. This was the mid-level hotel. The price is unbeatable for the quality. Make sure your rate includes breakfast... I think they all do at this hotel. I will... More

We booked a night in this hotel as a stopover on our way back home after a driving holiday in Europe. It was an absolute delight as the 2 rooms we booked were ornately decorated in the style of the palace. The children thought it was fantastic. A comfortable night's sleep and great bathroom. Perhaps not the finest breakfast ever,... More

We booked this hotel as part of a trip to see the Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe Horse Race at Longchamp on 7th Oct. The hotel was about a 15 min walk from Versailles Chantiers station- The Rive Gauche station is a bit closer. Ideal for visiting the golden palace (chateau) as just across the road. This is a small... More

Our experience at Hotel de France was very good. We had rented a car in Paris but chose to drive to Versailles and take the train back into the city...driving in Paris is a challenge. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a delightful hostess who provided much needed information about parking. We were pleased with our room and updated bath.... More

Not impressed with reception when we arrived, a bit unhelpful but improved next day. Average room but the building is very old so can be excused but fantastic location for the Palace - could not get closer. Very good Alsatian restaurant next door. Can put up with the inadequacies for its location.

We stayed at the Hotel de France for three nights during the month of June 2012. Our first night was a little unpleasant because of the odor coming from the bathroom. We were staying on the second floor and the odor at night became unbearable. The next morning we did say something to the reception and they moved us to... More

Located right on the front door step of the Palace of Versailles this hotel is the ideal spot for a Palace visit. It is an old building with an historical association with the Palace, so you can't expect the conveniences of a modern hotel. The rooms are quite small and basic, but they do have a strong French ambience. The... More

This hotel is as close as one can possibly get to Versailles. I was ill so was able to come back to the room, take a nap, then go back. Versailles is exhausting. It was nice to walk through the gardens in the evening then back to the hotel. Staying this close allows you to go to the palace just... More

We stayed here for our last night in France before ending our two month long trip. After checking in we were going up to our room when the receptionist ran after us saying she wanted to check our room as it had had an odour problem. When she checked it was fine. On our return later that evening the room... More
